The Illustrated Alice in Wonderland (The Golden Age of Illustration Series)

Product Information

The English composer Joseph Horovitz composed an Alice in Wonderland ballet commissioned by the London Festival Ballet in 1953. It was performed frequently in England and the US. [122] A ballet by Christopher Wheeldon and Nicholas Wright commissioned for The Royal Ballet entitled Alice's Adventures in Wonderland premiered in February 2011 at the Royal Opera House in London. [123] [124] The ballet was based on the novel Wheeldon grew up reading as a child and is generally faithful to the original story, although some critics claimed it may have been too faithful. [125] Gerald Barry's 2016 one-act opera, Alice's Adventures Under Ground, first staged in 2020 at the Royal Opera House, is a conflation of the two Alice books.

Vintage Books. ISBN 0-679-74562-9. OCLC 36163687. Alice in Wonderland has been one of my favorite books my entire life. I dressed as Alice as a little girl and the Mad Hatter as an adult. The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party was the theme of my Bachelorette Party, with one of my bridesmaids jumping out of the bathroom in a full White Rabbit Costume. Most recently, my husband and I went to Oxford, UK, to follow in the footsteps of the complicated creator of the Alice books, Lewis Carroll. The book has never been out of print and has been translated into 174 languages. Its legacy covers adaptations for screen, radio, art, ballet, opera, musicals, theme parks, board games and video games. [5] Carroll published a sequel in 1871 entitled Through the Looking-Glass and a shortened version for young children, The Nursery "Alice" in 1890.

Tenniel’s and Carroll’s cooperation

Nina Auerbach discusses how the novel revolves around eating and drinking which "motivates much of her [Alice's] behaviour", for the story is essentially about things "entering and leaving her mouth." [56] The animals of Wonderland are of particular interest, for Alice's relation to them shifts constantly because, as Lovell-Smith states, Alice's changes in size continually reposition her in the food chain, serving as a way to make her acutely aware of the 'eat or be eaten' attitude that permeates Wonderland.
